Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Georgia

Valid contract?

To make a long story short, I bought a now ex-boyfriend a car back in 2003 (it's in my name). We broke up in 2005 and I had him sign a contract basically stating that he was responsible for all payments, insurance, tags, damages, etc in order to keep the car. I also had in the contract that should he lapse on any of those he would be required to give the car back, but that he would still be responsible for the remaining loan. He did not make 2 payments last year and I was forced to make them to keep my credit in good standing. He voluntarily left the vehicle at a predetermined location in February and I now have the vehicle. Can I take him to court for breaking our contract and sue him for the remaining balance of the loan? Any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Re: Valid contract?

Without seeing your contract, my answer is a guarded "yes, you can sue him". However, at least have a local attorney review the contract.
